This year, we invite you to invest in resolutions worth keeping, and that’s streaming more shows for both yourself and the kids on Netflix. There’s a lot to get excited for, so no matter what you’re looking to fill your queue with in 2018, Netflix has you covered.
With new titles premiering for kids, adults and everyone in between, Netflix has something for everyone in 2018. Need some suggestions? Let us help:
For the little one who just can’t get enough of Trolls…
Trolls: The Beat Goes On! premiered on Netflix last week and picks up right where the hit movie left off, following the adventures of Poppy, Branch and all their Troll friends. My girls were thrilled to watch the first season and love the show as much as they adore the movie.
For the one who says they’re ready to watch scary movies…
Let them try A Series of Unfortunate Events first. The dark comedy series following the ill-fated Baudelaire siblings returns on March 30 for a second suspense-filled season with Neil Patrick Harris reprising his role as the cunning Count Olaf.
For the teen looking for a smart family comedy…
Look no further than the Alvarez family of One Day at a Time. While do-it-all single mom Penelope keeps her family going, it’s the fresh perspectives of her children Elena and Alex that make the show relevant in today’s cultural landscape. The series returns with season 2 on January 26.
For the mom or dad who can’t get enough sci-fi…
Caught the sci-fi bug after Black Mirror and need a new show to binge ASAP? Buckle up for Altered Carbon, a fast-paced cyberpunk series where death isn’t permanent and human consciousness can be digitized and downloaded from body to body. Get ready for this noir murder mystery coming to Netflix on February 2.
For the family member always sneaking in a midnight snack…
Take caution if their appetite begins to change, and become extremely carnivorous. Santa Clarita Diet returns for a second season later this year.
But it doesn’t stop there: This February, Queer Eye returns after 15 years with a brand new Fab Five and the Regina King-starring crime drama Seven Seconds goes beyond the headlines of race relations and law enforcement. The standard coming-of-age story is turned on its head with a set of dueling A/V and drama clubs set in 1990s Oregon in Everything Sucks! to four bright and savvy friends growing up and navigating their way through life in South Central LA in On My Block .
And later this year, mark your calendars for family blockbuster nights with new takes on classic stories: First, get ready to welcome back the most lovable dog in Hollywood with Benji coming to Netflix in March, and then blast off into the galaxy with Lost in Space, a reboot of the 1960s classic which is set to launch in mid-2018.
“Llama Llama Red Pajama” may be one of the catchiest children’s rhymes of all time (just ask Ludacris). Whether your kids grew up on the books or still reach for it every night, there’s a good chance Llama and his Mama have been a mainstay in your family’s bedtime routine. And now, the beloved bedtime stories are coming to Netflix, with the launch of the official animated Llama Llama series on January 26.
